Was it all standard tuning? I don't think I've ever heard any slide work out of them, but I'd like to learn some of their unique chords and riffs, especially if there are any in open tunings. Anyone know of any resources for learning some of these?

Blind Boy Fuller recorded a song called "Little Woman You're So Sweet" in open E tuning, as well as three bottleneck tunes (all essentially the same guitar part, two of them accompanied by Sonny Terry) - "Stranger Here" and "Homesick and Lonesome Blues" and a third one the name of which escapes me at the moment.
Robert Petway played in standard tuning exclusively. He played out of G position (with a capo placing him in the actual keys of A, B, and C) on all but two of his songs ("Catfish" played out of E position, and "Ride Em On Down" played out of D position).
I think there's a DVD by Ari Eisinger that teaches Fuller songs.
